摘要:
Method and apparatus for recording information on a card-shaped optical information recording medium with a light beam and/or for reproducing information recorded on the medium. The apparatus includes a device for irradiating the medium with a light beam, a device for causing relative reciprocal movement between the medium and the light beam, and a device for terminating or displacing the light beam on the medium, after the lapse of a predetermined period of time from a moment when the relative speed of the medium and the light beam is reduced below a predetermined speed. The method includes the steps carried out by the apparatus.

An optical element having the function of changing the cross-sectional intensity distribution of an incident light beam is comprised of a plurality of prisms. The optical element spatially combines a light beam having been amplitude-divided by an amplitude-dividing mirror provided on the joined surface of the prisms and a light beam having been totally reflected by a total-reflection mirror provided on the outermost one of the prisms to thereby change the cross-sectional intensity distribution of the light beam entering the optical element.

A scanning optical system having a tilting correcting function includes a light beam generator, a deflector for deflecting the light beam from the light beam generator in a predetermined direction, a first optical system disposed between the light beam generated and the deflector for linearly forming the light beam from the light beam generator near the deflecting and reflecting surface of the deflector, and a second optical system disposed between the deflector and a medium to be scanned for imaging on the medium the light beam deflected by the deflector. The second optical system includes, in succession from the deflector side, a spherical single lens and a single lens having a toric surface. The product of the curvature of the surface of the spherical single lens which is adjacent to the deflector and the curvature of the surface of the spherical single lens which is adjacent to the medium to be scanned is zero or less.
